FARM CONGRESS
GREAT SUCCESS
J About 1200 Boys And Girls
From AH Parts of Coun
ty Were Present
GREAT SPEECH WAS MADE
By Hon. A. P. Sandles, Holding
Interest And Attention of
Children Throughout .
Will Do Goodi
The first Boys' and Girls' Farm Con
gress ever held In the world was held
at Bell's Opera House last Friday. It
was a great success in every way,
many poeple being heard to remark
that no gathering had ever been held
in Hillsboro that would compare with
it.
From 1200 to 1500 children were
present and at both morning and
afternoon sessions the Opera House
was packed to the doors, hundreds be
ing compelled to stand.
After the Invocation by Dr. R. O.
Matthews and music by the Etude
Quartette, Hon. George L. Garrett,
president of the Business Men's Asso
ciation, delivered an address of wel
come As always Mr. Garrett was
most happy in his remarks, his short
talk being in his best vein.
Hon. Frank W, Miller, state school
commissioner, who was to have made
an address in the morning was unable
to be here, but Mr. Oliver, of that
office, was present and gave a very
interesting and instructive talk.
Hon. A. P. Sandles, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, spoke in
the afternoon and no man has ever
appeared on a Hillsboro platform who
made a better impresion. Following
a few introductory remarks In which
he paid a high and well merited com
pliment to Hon. C. C. Muhlbach, who
was the president of the congress and
it's originator and organizer, he took
up the role of teacher with the boys
and girls as his pupils.
Mr. Sandles at once won the confi
dence of the children and had them
feeling as much, if not more at home
than in their own school rooms. It
was indeed unusual the way the hands
would go up when he would ask a
question and the many childish voices
that would be heard volunteering
answers. The children were so thor
oughly interested that frequently they
would answer even when they were in
doubt whether they were right.
His first question was, "What is the
average yield of wheat per acre in
Ohio?" Receiving no answer he
stated that it was 14 bushels per acre
and that twenty years ago it had been
.eighteen bushels. He then asked if it
was right for the yield to be going
backward and received a chorus of
noes. He then told that the average
yield of wheat per aerein England was
34 bushels, in Scotland 43 bushels and
in France 25 bushels and asked if his
pupils thought-the land of these coun
tries was better than the land of Ohio
or the people more intelligent and
again received a chorus of noes. He
then said that agriculture was taught
in all the schools of France and wanted
to know if they thought this had any
thing to do with the greater yield in
that country and the answer was yes.
He then repeated his questions to the
children and the close attention they
had been paying was shown by the
correctness with which the answers
were given.
The bright young son of Earl Carter,
of Rainsboro, by this time had at
tracted the attention of Mr Sandles
by his quick and ready answers and
Mr. Sandles frequently directed his
questions at him.
The yield of corn was next taken up
Mr. Sandles following the same plan
as on the wheat. He told the children
that three-fourths of all the corn
raised in the world was raised in the
United States ; that the average yield
In Ohio was 36 bushels per acre ; that
the largest amount of corn ever raised
on an acre of land was by a Mr. Drake
and was 254 bushels and 49 pounds and
that a 14 year old boy, Jerry Moore,
had raised 203 bushels on an acre.
This young boy, he said, had been at
the State Corn Show a year ago and
had had his picture taken with Gov.
Harmon and thatGov. narmon had
said when he shook hands with him
that he would rather shake hands
with Jerry Moore than any politician
in the country.
He then asked what a bushel of
corn was worth and received the
answer of 60 cents. The next question
was, how many acres will a bushel of
corn plant? The answer 7. "How
many bushels of corn should be raised
to the acre" was next asked and receiv-
Thanksgiying Concert.

Ing various answers said he would
place it at GO. He followed this by
"how many know how to test seed
corn?" Receiving several affirmative
answers, he went ahead to show In a
simple manner the value of having
good seed corn ; that If a bushel of
corn costing GO cents would plant seven
acres, which" would raise 60 bushels to
the acres, that If this was done the
proceeds from the one bushel would
be $242 and there was no telling what
it would be if the seed was bad.
He then told of the value of the
sugar beet crop and urged that more
attention be paid to the raising of it,
stating that frequently 12 tons of these
beets were raised to the acre and were
worth 5 a ton.
ne then told of the Ohio Experi
ment Station at Wooster, Ohio College
of Agriculture at Columbus and State
Board of Agriculture at Columbus
He said that each of these Institutions
published bulletins regularly contain
ing much Information of value to
farmers and that every farmer could
receive these bulletins by writing and
asking for them and urged the child
ren to either take advantage of this
opportunity or get their parents to.
Inclosing he asked each child to
promise to plant at least one flower
seed in the yard at home and about
the school house, saying that nothing
added more to the appearance of a
Place than a few flowers. Henry Ward
Beecher, herald, had described a flow
er as "the most beautiful thing God
ever made in which he forgot to put a
souL"
He closed by complimenting all who
had in any, way been responsible for
the Congress and stating that High
land county was the pioneer in
this movement which he- believed
would grow rapidly ; that he believed
and hoped that the Congress would
prove of great benefit to rhe county.
He congratulated Highland countv on
having a citizen of the character and
worth of O. C. Muhlbach within its
borders ; that 6uch a man was of
Inestimable value to a community.
The children from the Children's
Home sang very sweetly "America"
and "Yield Not To Temptation."
Master Joseph Bowman, of the Home,
recited a Thanksgiving poem unusu
ally well and was heartily applauded.
Upon motion of Hon. George L. Gar
rett a rising vote of thanks was
tendered Mr. Muhlbach for his ser
vices In promoting the Congress and
upon motion of Dr. Brown a rising
vote of thanks was given Mr. Oliver
and Mr. Sandles for their addresses.
The meeting closed'fwlth the pro
nouncing of the benediction by Rev.
W. H. Shields.
More out of town children attended
the Congress than had been expected
and the only hitch in the whole affair
was that the lunch furnished by the
Business Men's Association ran out.
This was due to the teachers falling
to notify the secretary, Joe Stablen
the number of their pupils who would
attend. A number of the teachers
responded and the Association think
ing to be safe prepared for 300 more
than they had been Informed would
come.
Everything else was perfect and as
Mr, Sandles well said the Congress
will undoubtedly be a Red Letter Day
in the lives of the children who at
tended, and in the history of Highland
county.

Probate Judge T. M. Watts was

crop at the usual time In the early

The habeis corpus proceeding of
Mrs. Anna Uhaney against her hus
band, Dr. Mitchel L. Ohaney, for the
possession of their two children, Lewis
and Mary, has been going on before
Judge Watts since Monday morning.
The charges of both parties are sen
sational and the case has attracted
considerable attention.
Dr. and Mrs. Chaney lived at Price
town for a number of vears. where he
practised his profession and the two j
children were born. From Prlcetown
they moved t j Texas. They returned
from Texas and lived at Lynchburg a
couple of years. Here they senerated,
he taking the children and going to
Oklahoma and she going to live with
her mother at Dayton. He has been
'living at Lynchburg now about ayear.
She Is still living with her mother at
Dayton.
Mrs. Ohany Is a Roman Catholic and
Dr. Chaney a Protestant and consider
able emhpasis has been placed on their
religious beliefs as the cause of their
trouble.
Mrs. Chaney was the main witness
in her own behalf and was on the stand
all of Monday afternoon, a part of
Tuesday morning and the most of
Wednesday morning.
According to the testimony of Mrs.
Chaney, Dr. Chaney treated her very
badly. She stated that he accused
her of Intimacy with almost every
man In Lynchburg ; forbid her leaving
the house the last year they lived in
Lynchburg; that If she would go up
town with the children and he would
find her that he would take the child
ren away from her and leave her on
the tsreet ; that when he would come I
home he would then taunt her and '
ask her what men she had been run ,
nlng araund with that he claimed
that their son was not his child, but
that Father Denny, Catholic priest at
St. Martins was his father ; that he
frequently abused and mistreated her ;
that he was Intimate with a woman
by the name of Jane McDowell, of
Cincinnati, and kept Miss McDowell's
picture in his office and in their bed
room ; that for the last year they lived
together they did not live as man and
wife : that he made her suffer every
indignity possible and tried to ruin
her reputation as a woman of virtue
and chastity ; that he would leave her
and be gone for days and not tell her
where he had gone ; that he tried to
turn her children against her, to make
them believe that she was a bad woman
and even told them she was dead.
Mrs. Chaney has been living In Day
ton since her seperatlon from her
husband. She has taken up the work
of nursing and for a counle of vnars
has been nursing for leading physi
ciaiis unu in me nest iamines or thatl
city. The testimony shows 'that her I

The cross examination of the plain
tiff's witnesses by the atttomeys for
the defendant shows that the defend
ant will attempt to show that she Is a
woman of bad moral character.
The case of the plaintiff was rested
shortly after noon Wednesday.
At the time of going to press the
defendant had just begun his defense.
Dr. Chaney has brought suit for
divorce in which he alleges that Mrs.
Chaney deserted him and that while
living with him associated with men
of loose character.
The case will probably take the bal
